The zte idea at a bigger scale. "194 (z)" is the first larger zte painting element, about 72 inches tall.

"194 (z)" is a painting.

It is a painting, and the presence in real space of this free-standing painting is occasion for and a counterpoint of the painting's various undoings. It also may become an element of a large tableau.

Earlier, I made three small tableaux, including "zte II" (pictured in the photo below) that contained space. The container / box of "zte II" is a folded-up painting plane. "zte II" is a painting, and also contains paintings and painting space. It also contains real space. It creates the possibility to set relationships among the elements (paintings) within the tableau, for particular constellations of placement and empty space to be made specific.
